Readjust <3 Got on the scale today and put two feet flat. I know I can have a habit of " the lean", not sure if anyone else can relate. But in the spirit of transparency and accountability need to readjust to 213.6 not 209.8. Psychologically the little tilt helps me see a number that I feel good about however in the long…

@uyester Sending thoughts and prayers your way in St Vincent .

@speyerj Thank you for taking the time to respond, it is very helpful. Still focus too much on numbers. What you wrote about sustaining is so true. I have never been at true sustaining point. Loved your last sentence," the longer it takes, the longer you have to practice and get things right" <3

Even as I write this I know that its the healthier way to do this but does anyone else ever get discouraged on how long it takes to take off weight compared to how easy it was to put it on? I started November 27/2020 at 230 and 215.6 today. Maybe its just that I have unrealistic expectations but sometimes I am feeling…

Welcome to the group.

[Speyerj@ posted So, I just listened to an episode of "This American Life" about secrets, and the first act really spoke to me, which is about talking about having an eating disorder. It made me think about why coming here and posting my weight and my struggles and connecting with all of you is still so important to me,…

A few of my workmates had a Zoom drink together yesterday after work. It was wonderful as haven't seen some of them since start of Covid-19 as we are all teaching remotely and they teach in other programs. It was so lovely. March 11 marks one year since so much changed for so many people. People have lost family members,…

Thank you Raven for doing this again this month!

I really appreciated what you shared and think it can resonate with other people as well. I developed an eating disorder following a series of traumatic events when I was in my early twenties. I understand now it was a way to gain control when I did not feel I had any.I will be turning sixty in May and my best years are…

Can relate to the "no amount of obsession", I wonder how many of us can say how many hours, days, months years we have given to our weight journey. I read in the gym at my college a note posted above the scale it read... this scale does not measure all the other things about you like your beauty, courage and all the other…

Resets are hard for sure but so glad your back now. This last year has so challenging for so many people. One day at a time , you aren't alone, we are all in this together. You've got this!!!!

Alisha, I appreciate your frustration. You are absolutely doing great with the walking. It is making a difference, both on your overall health and wellness. Snacking isnt easy especially if you are feeling discouraged but you are absolutely in the right place. If I can encourage you to ensure you log on everyday and log…

Heading out for our daily walk.... -17 c wind chill -26 . We are a hearty lot here in Ottawa lol. I bundle up pretty good though. Enjoy your weekend everyone.

Hi everyone, so wanted to share, when I first started this process almost 2 months ago I was so focused on the scale. Weighing myself everyday and , to be honest, sometimes letting that play a part in how I felt about myself that day, was so unhealthy for me. I am now able to go days with out getting on the scale and may…

After dinner eating is my downfall. Last night ended up eating chocolates, one or two turned into 10. Seriously?????? 10. One good thing is that I did mark it down and was able to take ownership. I read that others have the same issue in the evening. Think I will scroll back again and see your strategies. I am almost two…

Thank you for post, glad you are feeling better today, being aware is half the battle, one moment at a time but you are here and that is the most important thing!!!!!
